I like cuffing and buffalo checks, in fact I'm off to put on my biggest cuffs and my 72 right now and take a picture, ha ha ha ha ha
Question for TMT, do you hate cuffs because you can't do it? Same way as I hate ponytails… fucking hippies.
LOL, never been able to grow a ponytail, too tall to cuff - blighted lives!

That's the estimated cost of giving several hundred thousand federal employees PTO (the shutdown)
where does that information come from?
wish i was off during that time & knew i would get paid for it. i worked the entire time without knowing if i would be paid & then was advised if i didn't come in there was no guarantee i would be paid for that. oh & folks that i knew who were out and not considered exempt were not sure if they would or wouldn't be paid for being forced to be out of work. doesn't sound like Paid Time Off to me.
sh!t sucked balls. imagine not knowing if you would be able to provide for yourself & family through no fault of your own. i can't speak for anyone else, but the last pay check i received was only a small portion of my normal income because of the shut down & we had to dip into savings to actually pay for our normal monthly expenses.
all the reports of a partial shut down were as most things in the media full of smoke & mirrors & didn't really explain what impact it had/has on the federal work force. as a government employee you give up certain rights where you can not actually talk about certain conditions of employment & operations of your job with the media.
sh!t is cray, not looking for any sympathy & at this point not sure why i am going through it. i get weirder than usual sometimes when i see certain comments that seem to be based in . . . well i really do not know what it is based on . . . .

not discussing politics, just xpressing my point of view & how things look from where i'm at. i'm also trying to figure where information came from so i can look at it myself & understand where the informatino is coming from.
it's all good as the hip folks say.

I do want to explain myself because I think MM might have misunderstood what I was trying to say.
The bill says that all furloughed employees will be reimbursed ex post facto. "PTO" is my way of mocking the ideologues who caused this shutdown, estimated by S&P to have sucked $24bn out of our economy and to have impacted GDP by a fraction of a point. It was not my way of mocking federal employees. The point is that it was a completely pointless exercise that messed shit up for families like yours for no good reason.

Ssshhhhh no politics, or I publish my patented zombie Jesus rant

I apologize, I should have made my point clearly. I totally get how it sounds in hindsight.
Unpopular opinion: leaders in a free society aren't the problem. They are people just like us and are given power by people just like us. The problem is that we suck. They are our reflection: we are the problem. I don't consider that a political statement but if the mods disagree feel free to correct me.

I really dunno, it's just been grinding on my nerves lately, and of course it's all personal preference. I have a few jeans that I can cuff but everytime I try by mid day they are back to stacks. Personally I my jeans to sit with just a slight bit of stack on top of my boot (like I have much option. It either that or the high water look 99% of the time) but it doesn't matter which way you slice it it seems like someone either gripes that stacks are too trendy or cuffs are…so I suppose your screwed either way in the eyes of others. Not that their option matters. More than anything it just popped into my head and I remembered the thread and thought, "where better to post than there?"
Dudes with ponytails can do gnarly hair whips while jamming to their heavy metal, though. If I try that I just get dandruff on everyone like I'm the human salt shaker. l..l <~ dio fingers
